Echoes


Unbearable thoughts remain
Alone, drowning, in my pain
Self-sacrifice, with nothing to gain
I slowly drive myself insane

Once, soulmates, side by side
Now between us, distance does lie
So far away, you ignore my cries
No response from you when I say good-bye

So clouded by tears, I cannot see
An abyss stretched in front of me
Frozen on the brink of eternity
Just one more step and then gravity

I am not so brave, I want to hide
To step back to the safety of my old life
Too late, I feel a gentle push from behind
Your laughter echoes as you watch me die
